Remains to be seen anther Colin is an extra body of suiting up over vinny. I'd guess he's extra.

Why call him up at all if you were going to play Vinny?

So I know we touched on this briefly but Raffl is an UFA after this season. Do you think he'll be back?

I think so, he's a good role player and pretty versatile. Shouldn't be too expensive to re-sign, even if he does pick up the pace.

With Gagner now hurt and possibly going on IR, they need an extra forward.

I think he is the second most likely player to be resigned behind Brayden Schenn

Don't want to sign players in free agency now. They want to build a team and have some continuity.

You just know It'll kill Homer if Buff makes it to UFA status and the Flyers show zero interest.

- funmaster18

Ek will say they've made him a massive offer anyway so I'd be more worried about Homer's mental well being.

Skimmed 18 pages of comments.

This place is caustic.


Anyway, I enjoyed the game. Not so much the letup in the 3rd period but the combination of Couts, Giroux and Ghost all chipping in on the win was very satisfying.

I hope Gagner is ok and comes back soon with little ill effects.

raffle is not a guy you need to build around or include in your rebuilding plan. get guys on 1 year deals until your ready; hence vets who are always available.

as for continuity well raffle has been here what his 3rd year now? no playoffs in 2 of those years. he wont be missed.

just because they haven't made the playoffs, doesn't mean certain players wouldn't be missed. you have to identify the ones that will help moving forward vs those that won't

When building a team, you want a collection of players who can grow together, and create chemistry together. You don't do that by getting players on 1 year deals. You use players like that to fill a hole temporarily, while developing your team . Raffl is definitely a player that fills a need on a team. Not saying it's not possible that he will be traded, but he's a player that can be part of the core moving forward.

I was hoping the Flyers would have brought Ghost up at the beginning of the year and moved Streit last off season.
